My sweet hubby has started the work on my studio. I have one roman shade in place.

As you can see the painting is not complete but today is the day. First he took the ceiling fixture down so he could paint, of course there was a problem. The box and the wire are very old and the fixture wasn't mounted properly. He fixed that problem and has moved on to the painting part. He will finish at least the ceiling today. The ceilings are a lighter color and the walls a few shades darker and the window sills and trim the darkest color. Most studios and galleries are traditionally white so as not to interfere with the colors of the art. I have noticed a trend away from this tradition in some of the better galleries. I think it is a good idea, the white can be very jarring and stark. I chose a trio of soft beige that will be a calming background and welcoming to my customers.The reason I am so excited about painting this room is the day it is dry my furniture can be placed and I can unpack all my art equipment and be able to GO BACK TO MY ART! Can you tell I am excited? I will post pictures of the finished project when I can. Remember the help has a full time job on a swing shift so I have to be patient. ​
